Recently i was running an ATT Galaxy S3 with the d2att CM Rom.
I switched carriers and I just need a yes or no on this, do I need to install the d2tmo CM ROM?
Or is there any sort of radio patch or less-than-entire-rom fix i could use???
(This was prompted by a bad connection on 4g, thinking its because cm d2att has ATT radio kernels, but i'm not that experienced)
thanks in advance

I am assuming d2att is based on AT&T version of I747M,
I have Rogers version of I747M. can I install CM9 or CM10 on it?
and is there clean jelly bean build released for I747M?

Yes but you may run into lte issues
Lte is working fine for all the Canadian i747M gs3's in the current versions of both CM9 and CM10

Yup I'm running CM9 on my phone and I am with Rogers. Sadly the area I am in Calgary is not covered my LTE, so I can't tell you how well it works. I know I can connect to lte but it is usually while I am driving.

I'm currently running the official 4.0.3 Telus OS on my T989D and I'm looking at trying out some other ROMs, my question has two parts:
Is it correct that I have to install the Telus Radio first (T989DTLLE4)?
Are there any recommended ROMs for Telus users or will any T-Mobile T989 mod work so long as I use the Telus radio? (Mod recommendations would be appreciated!)
Through trial and error it looks like it doesn't seem to matter the order so long as the preferred radio is installed. If I'm incorrect please let me know.

1) You don't have to install the telus radio before installing a rom. None of the roms that I know of flash a new radio, they just use the one that you had previously (in this case the TLLE4 radio). Also, any radio available here will work with the T989D, and will work with all roms. So you can try flashing different ones and see which works best for you, unless you are happy with the stock radio.
2) Just like with radios, any rom will work. the T989D is the same phone as the T989. However, for stability reasons I recommend that you stick with roms that are based on stock telus/kood/t-mobile. Here are a few that I've tried and would highly recommend (currently running darthstalker)
Darthstalker
Jedi Knight
Koodo V4
Xtremeperia
happy flashing!
Thanks four the links! I am currently running the Koodo 4.0.4 v.4 that is working well. One thing I was having problems with was having the phone pull the wrong APN settings for the Koodo mod as I am a Telus user. At first I couldn't get data service but I got it sorted thanks to another user posting the solution being manually entering the APN settings for Telus.
I will try out the ROMs you linked, thanks for your suggestion!

I've been working on this and searching for two weeks now and have found nothing that matches our exact problem or fixes it. I've been rooting/flashing phones for years so I'm not new to this but this is definitely a new problem for me... I'm helping a friend flash Cyanogenmod on his Note 2 and have been working on it solid for the past 2 days to no avail.
Phone: T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-T889)
Problem: No APN in Cyanogenmod, unable to create one/save, unable to restore APN from backed up APN from stock rom.
Thoughts: I believe that the problem lies in the fact that I can't save the APN which may have to do with the way the newer rom deals with APN's or with the way that it interfaces with the SIM card.
Currently I have the phone flashed with CWM touch and I have backup's of the stock rom which is rooted and also of Cyanogenmod 10.1 for N7100. This is the only ROM i've been able to get flashed on the phone and it seems that this is what rom manager tells you to install so I think this is the right one. I've also seen other DIY's that tell you to use the t0lte rom but that one fails the device check before flashing.
Stock Rom: When we have the stock rom flashed, everything works fine. There is a valid APN and we have no problems.
CyanogenMod: When we flash back to this rom or flash from an image, there is no cell signal. When you check the APN's there are none. We are unable to manually create an APN. If you enter the info, press menu button and click save, it does not error but does not save the APN. We are also unable to restore the APN with APN Backup & Restore. I've set the restore app as a system app and ignore the ICS warning as you are supposed to do and it appears to be writing the APN data but afterwards when you check, there is still no APN.
The only thing I have left is to go figure out how to check the logs after I try to save the APN. I'm not sure how to do this yet so I'm going to go learn how to do that now but I'm hoping someone might have some insight into this issue before I have to go down that road...
If I've left out any useful information please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help!!! I've used this community forum for many years but this will be one of my first posts... I'm truly stumped.
Also, this may be important. I started reading into modems and such thinking that the modem may not be compatible or may not be able to interface with the sim card and I found that when you check the baseband version in Cyanogenmod, it says Unknown.
Maybe this is becuase it is an i7100 ROM on a T889 device?
When you flash a Cyanogenmod ROM, does it flash the appropriate modem with it? Also, when you back up your rom in CWM, does that backup/restore the modem?

ROMS do not include modems. I think you should be flashing the 7105 not 7100

Ok, good to know. And it always seems to happen this way but I think I've solved the problem. Regarding 7105 vs 7100 however, not sure I've seen the 7105, nor have I seen any diy's that instruct you to use that rom on the tmobile T889. Is that a variant or something?
I was reading more on the wiki for cyanogenmod and saw someone post the same problem where the t0lte rom wouldn't flash through CWM. They suggested flashing TWRP, which I did and it worked perfectly. We have cell signal and everything!
So if you're having the same issue flashing the t0lte Cyanogenmod 10.1 to a Galaxy Note 2 (T-Mobile) try flashing through TWRP recover instead of CWM.

The only ROMS that will work on the TMO variant are ROMS based on the T889 source or the 7105 source. The CM is based on the 7105 source.

Very good to know. Thanks for the quick replies and help!!
We realized 4g wasn't working and attempted flashing a newer modem which I'm sure helped but didn't fix the 4g problem. Flashing a newer nightly did however resolve the issue... Hopefully that info will help someone else...
I recently had the same problem in my recently owned Galaxy S2 Skyrocket after trying the first Rom which is Cyanogenmod 10.2 Stable with UCMC1 radio.
I figured that the problem had something to do with my provider, so i sorted it just putting it in airplane mode before adding the APN. Theres one little catch, you cant access the Mobile Settings button while you are in airplane more, so you just open the APN list window before putting it in airplane mode via the quick launch menu,, then the apn will save with no problem.
I hope this is useful, ch33rz!:silly:
My Galaxy s3 was from WIND in Canada T999V. Which SHOULD make it a d2tmo. However when i try to install 4.4 nightlies of AOKP and Cyanogenmod, they tell me in CWM that my phone is actually a d2vzw. Which is it actually? Is it actually a d2vzw despite the fact that I got it from WIND?
Secondly,both AOKP and Cyanogenmod (even the stable 10.2) boot but the play store doesn't connect and nothing can fix it.
I've tried going into root edit mode and changing the "hosts" file as per another thread, but it wouldn't let me save the changes. I think it might have something to do with the version of Cyanogenmod I installed (maybe the radio got f'ed up?), but i'm not expert and would like to open it up to a forum of experts.
Thank you
There was a discussion a while back about the recovery that you installed in the beginning might not have been a d2tmo, but maybe a d2vzw
So I was looking on the cm website and I see the t0ltetmo only has cm10 which I think is jb mr2. But the t0lte which is the international version has cm11. So I was under the impression that the t0lte and t0ltetmo and att were basically the same as far as hardware goes. So can I use the t0lte roms on my t0ltetmo phone?

thank you for your help. I just flashed the latest AOKP on my mphone and its 4.4.2 and it runs good except I dont get good service on it. Well I mean my data speeds are all messed up. I seem to only be able to get hspa speeds not hspa+ or lte. I am using simple mobile. I dont know if that has anyuthing to do with it or not. Maybee I need to fix something in the build.prop I dont know.
I wonder how AOKP got 4.4.2 when it is based off cm. Maybe they use the internatinal t0lte version as a base.

I doubt the aokp is a port they probably built it from source which doesn't require a base
